Our invention relates to improvements in perambulators or vehicles, moreparticularly it has reference to an attachment adapted to be applied atwill to a vehicle such as a baby carriage.

Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a view of part of thevehicle showing an application of our invention, and Fig. 2 is a crosssection of the same.

A is the frame work of the vehicle, B the frame work of the attachment,and O the vehicle Wheel.

D is a bolt adapted to bind the frame work B to the frame work A of thevehicle and provide a bearing for the driving wheel of the apparatus,and E is a tube extending upwardly from the frame work adapted to receive the spindle F and carrying a beveled gear G at the lowerextremity. At the upper extremity of the spindle may be mounted anysuitable form of fan such as H. I

which it receives its power. On one side of this friction wheel ismounted the beveled gear'J adapted to intercalate with the beveled gearG thereby communicating the power to the fan H through the spindle F.

A wheel I is mounted upon the frame work B by the bolt D.

The attachment may be adjusted longitudinally and tilted forward orbackward by means of the bolt D. This is made possible by the elongatedopening between the framework B which is preferably elliptical.

7 Various modifications may be made with out departing from the spiritof the invention.

Having described the invention what we claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

In a vehicle, an attachment mounted thereupon, said attachment providedwith a driving wheel having a periphery contacting with and driven bythe wheel of said vehicle, binding means for securing said attachment tosaid vehicle, said binding means providing bearing for said drivingwheel and for a pinion intercalating therewith and driven thereby, saidpinion provided with bearing for a shaft carrying a fan and said shaftverticallyadjustable in said hearing.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
